“Overwhelmed”, “panic-stricken”, even described as the “worst team in the NFL”, the Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t buying into the negativity. Instead they are using evaluation and personal reflection to find answers to their 0-4 start during the 2013 NFL Season in this bye week.

PITTSBURGH (93-7 THE FAN) — The Steelers let one get away in Week 3 at Oakland, but according to running back Isaac Redman, the 34-31 upset by the Raiders, their pretty punchless ground attack is not entirely to blame, nor is Todd Haley’s strategy.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are on a bye this week. As it turns out, the timing could not be any better. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger announced that he has a broken thumb, but does not expect to miss any time.
